Russo, here are a few more pictures of 497 in Monero Canyon that I took after it was too dark to take pictures. They will never make it into a book, but since 497 was coming up the 2 percent grade for the very last time, I will post them anyway.
Crossing the highway east of Monero
Coming up the canyon on the south side of the highway
By this time the light is pretty much gone, but sound recordings would have been spectacular as 497 puts on a sound show as darkness descends
